Otherwise you're just throwing money at names. Probably better to dollar-cost-average an S&P500 ETF. Agreed, even if it’s a Microsoft or other behemoth. Jim Cramer mentions always start with 10K in a SPY, VOO or other s&p500 tracker etf/fund as a solid foundation, followed by individual stocks per interest. Just one man’s opinion, but I agree with Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your trip. It’s always a pleasure to see Camden County signs while driving from South FL as it means you finally are leaving your state! Sunday, I’ll be with my cousin and his son in Port St Lucie, to catch a Mets spring training game. That’s a good 1 hr 45 min drive for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sold my Boeing (cost basis ~$139/share). While index funds are great for anyone who has postulated they will not be professional (“sophisticated”) investors, MHS makes me think he will read right over and not listen because it’s me saying writing it and not someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the right idea with investing and nice bank on Boeing. We all have the what if’s… my daughter chose Boeing as a Masters assignment team project (was cool as it was setup as a financial news segment and each participant was asked questions like if they were on CNBC/Bloomberg). They had to make board recommendations and I watched the stock rise. The price was in the 90’s then. 737Max 💩. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all starts with one. Aha, so that’s your meat and potatoes. 👍🏻 Sounds like biz is going well. I wasn’t sure if you were a realtor, which is why I wasn’t sure what your reaction would be on the commission adjustment news that just came out that I shared with you the other day. I’d like to take advantage of a good friend’s talent of handyman anything, once I reach the Roth IRA withdrawal age. We both would likely benefit with a flip. After one who knows? I’m an Abby Normal with research and he’s definitely in the know with regards to seeing cost projections with a needed TLC home review. A friend in NJ owns a small Apt complex conversion for years and has done well. #Randolph for the NJ folks. Nice town. For a public school in NJ, they play good football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah believe it or not I read your stuff even though I don't qoute or react to everything. I actually look alot of this stuff up and research it and watch videos on it. Because I'm trying to get my money up not my funny up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near impossible out there to grow and keep healthy grass….I was a former lawn nazi….3 1/2 inches, thick, green…you could sleep on it…a friend once did and loved it!. High and tight edging on the curb and walkway…..huge Milorganite fan. Used to slowly pull up to my driveway just to admire….mowed on angles for the criss cross checkered effect…..it was a passion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the same way. Was a big fan of Turf Royale fertilizer. Had my ritual. Mowed it every Thursday evening (would mow it twice a week in fall and spring) aerated every year, de thatched every other year. And I used to dress it with some lawn art come world series time 😂! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California had a ton of post WW2 growth and the major berth of the tract housing suburban boom so lots aren’t the biggest. The coast has the Pacific as a natural barrier and what is open is inland. I was out in Raleigh/Durham/ Carey area awhile back looking at houses and the realtor told me they are running out land due to growth. She said lots were getting smaller and bigger lots were definitely a premium in new builds. She said 20 years ago that idea was unimaginable out there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed a visit to a friend’s parent’s new home in Raleigh with my wife back in 1995. If I recall correctly, homes were in the 100-120K range for a nice 3 br SFH. It was really nice back then and for sure has grown out a tad in the last 29 years. Haven’t visited since. My wife has a cousin that lives in Winston Salem, triad area. It’s nice there. We’ve driven up multiple times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 16 hours ago, Cossacks said: She said lots were getting smaller and bigger lots were definitely a premium in new builds. Define small and big. I've got .55 acres and consider my lot small. My front year is bigger than your back yard. I will admit, my size lots have gotten harder to find as growth continues. 2,800 sq ft ranch with an 800 sq ft carriage house I built as an in-law-suite for my older sister. Plenty big for my wife and me. I'm surprised you don't have some type of shade cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
